As a First Sergeant who retired 25 years ago, it seems like I can ALMOST qualify as a Sergeant in today's Marine Corps.

I missed #12, 14, 16, 30, 33, and 34.

I can pick up a point if we change #34 from MRE's to CRats.
------------------------------------

On the other hand, if "I" designed the list, ............................


But we ARE talking about today's Marine Corps, so I'll take the 4 1/2 hits.

(It's #12 that really ****es me off. My fault, not yours.)

Well, hell. I thought being politically correct required a lobotomy.

Not a lobotomy (unless you want "induced PC") - it's just a lack of will or even Will.

will power or Will Rogers - take your pick

I got out a Sgt. in 1958 and belive me Sgt's had power in thoses days and the smart officers let the Sgt's run the Corp and they took the credit.
